There's an adage that the Dota 2 community often quotes when someone
identifies themselves as a new player. "Welcome to Dota 2!" They say,
with open arms, before concluding with, "You suck." They're not wrong:
for the first dozen hours or so, you'll be bombarded with too much
information and an often unforgiving community of extremely
competitive players. But if you persevere, Dota 2 becomes one of the
most rewarding and tense team-based multiplayer experiences anywhere
in gaming. It's an achievement owed to uncompromising depth, a
ridiculously generous free-to-play model, and the great features
developer Valve has built up around it.
To grasp the subtleties of how heroes interact and fight you have to do
more homework on the different kinds of damage and how they're
mitigated; how to prevent one type of spell from affecting you, and when
you use that countermeasure; how the different kinds of aggro work,
and when you need to manipulate them; the timers (which aren't made
visible), and how to optimise your play around them.
